There is some history between these teams, even still with Matt Cooke no longer on the Penguins. The Bruins got thrashed here in Boston/the whole of Massachusetts (because it's not one city) by the media for not fighting and standing up when Cooke killed Savard's career. »12/07/13 10:01pm 12/07/13 10:01pm

I didn't think goal actually went in at first because I didn't believe it happened. Then I saw the replay and screamed like a girl. Then I lost it on the third one again. I'm surprised none of my neighbors came to check up on me because I was so loud. Amazing what Suarez can do when he isn't being stupid on the field. »12/04/13 6:31pm 12/04/13 6:31pm

Bob Bradley overcame a lot in leading an Egyptian national team a playoff game away from next summer's World Cup. But after losing 7-3 on aggregate to Ghana in a two-game playoff, no sympathy was shown to the former U.S. Men's National Team coach and his contract with Egypt was not extended. »11/20/13 12:38pm 11/20/13 12:38pm

Croatia qualified for the World Cup in Brazil next summer by beating Iceland, 2-0, and celebrations were much deserved. Except, celebrating by leading a pro-Nazi chant isn't a good idea or sensible thing to do, but defender Josip Simunic hasn't always been a sensible person. »11/20/13 9:12am 11/20/13 9:12am

According to his majesty, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, next summer's World Cup in Brazil isn't worth watching because he won't be taking part in it thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. »11/20/13 8:45am 11/20/13 8:45am

Cristiano Ronaldo probably knew he had to score all of Portugal's goals to make sure they got the job done in Sweden in the second leg of their playoff for a spot in next summer's World Cup in Brazil after watching Hugo Almeida head an easy chance from a Ronaldo cross into the side netting. So, Ronaldo decided to out… »11/19/13 6:39pm 11/19/13 6:39pm

The U.S. Men's National Team had a strong year in 2013. They qualified for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil for the seventh consecutive time, kept their greatest rival, Mexico, alive for a chance at 2014, and won 16 games in all competitions, including a 12-game winning streak. But had to rain on the USMNT parade today… »11/19/13 6:12pm 11/19/13 6:12pm

Never was he going to be great, but he would have been fun to watch. Of note on the dunk, that right there probably sums up a major issue with the Nets team as a whole...Does anyone move on the play? Is there a play called besides a half-court iso for Livingston — a back-up point guard? This experiment in New Jersey… »11/19/13 11:36am 11/19/13 11:36am

Luis Suarez is really good at soccer. He's one of the best players in the world (if not the most controversial) and Liverpool's best player and, with Liverpool in the midst of their best Premier League season since 2009, owner John Henry isn't messing around with weekend with the local derby against Everton scheduled… »11/19/13 11:13am 11/19/13 11:13am

Lunenburg High School's football has forfeited its final two remaining regular-season games after racist graffiti was painted on a 13-year-old student's home last week. The incident is believed to be an alleged hate crime against an eighth grader on the team by his own teammates. »11/19/13 10:32am 11/19/13 10:32am

Find the Notable reads at the end and search them out as well. I have found some of my favorite stories in that section. This year's edition has a great notable from Mr. AlexBelth, who runs The Stacks here on Deadspin, called "The Two Rogers". It ran on SBNation's longform site. »11/05/13 5:20pm 11/05/13 5:20pm
